Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B+.

The Packers bet big and early on Will Putnam, 79 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Williams. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Bishop pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and interior defensive lineman.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 25 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Circle this one: Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 41st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
They barely believed it either: Quinyon Mitchell still on the board at the 60th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 63, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They let Blake Corum come to them and pounced at No. 88. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A reach for Jaden Hicks in pick No. 91; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
The board had cheaper options than Cedric Gray at pick 126, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A curious use of the 129th overall pick. Edge rusher and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a safety in Cole Bishop did not.
Pick162 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A straight-up fair deal on Joe Milton III at No. 162, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 201st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
They will replay Cody Schrader at slot 203 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick No. 206 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Will Putnam
Will Putnam at Round 7, Pick 21 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at pick No. 243 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
They robbed the room for Kenny Logan Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
